Saw a Dak on Sunday
Sunday 12 April right on mid-day. I was enjoying the sound of birds in the trees of my suburb in Melbourne when an old but familiar sound was heard in the sky. Looked up and it was a DC3 at 1500 ft flying southbound on final (?) for 17 at Essendon. Or maybe a flight around the Bay? .
With so few aeroplanes in the Melbourne skies at the moment, it was such a pleasure and I confess a bit nostalgic, to hear again the sound of twin Pratt & Whitneys. Better still to be able to catch a fleeting glimpse of the ever so graceful lines of the "Dak" as we called them in RAAF days.
Anyone know who owns that DC3 and where is it based?
